Click Here to See a Tour of MyAlliPlan Video ...]MSNBC NEWS: Diet pill s icky side effects keep users honest Threat of embarrassment forces Alli users to eat healthy or else By Melissa Dahl - Health writer - MSNBC Alli is the first over-the-counter weight loss drug to get an approval from the Food and Drug Administration, but it can cause some ghastly side effects if users cheat on their diets. CBS NEWS: All About Alli, The Weight Loss Pill. (WebMD) By now, you have probably seen the commercials or read the direct mail pieces about Alli. They ask if you are ready to commit to a weight loss plan that includes Alli, the over-the-counter version of the FDA-approved fat blocker formerly known as Xenical. FDA APPROVED: The Food and Drug Administration approved the drug product orlistat 60 mg capsule (trade name alli) on February 7, 2007, for over-the-counter marketing as a weight loss aid. Alli is to be used only in conjunction with a weight loss program that includes a reduced calorie diet, a low fat diet, and an exercise program. It is approved for use in adults 18 years and older. A multivitamin should be taken every day when alli is used as part of a weight loss program. Alli works by inhibiting some of the body's absorption of dietary fat. Taken at meal times, it works by blocking the absorption of about 25% of fat in the foods you eat.

alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule. But it's more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat.
The alli program starts with your commitment to adopting healthy eating habits. It combines the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product with an individually tailored support plan to help you achieve gradual and healthy weight loss. When you take alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, you can lose 50% more weight than dieting alone. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds with diet alone, you can lose 15 pounds with the alli program. alli is safe - it works in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. It will not cause jitters, sleeplessness, or a racing heart. You can't just try alli - you have to commit to it. More information can be found at myalli.com, where you can also talk to alli users, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and fitness experts on the alli message board. Or talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian to help determine if you're ready.

Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories.
The main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can't absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them "treatment effects." These include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal.
- Don't use alli if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have had an organ transplant, or if you are taking cyclosporine.
- Do not take alli if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in alli capsules.
- Ask a doctor before using alli if you are taking warfarin.
- Do not take alli if you are not overweight.
- You can take up to three alli capsules per day, one with each meal containing fat.
- Take a multivitamin daily while taking alli capsules to ensure adequate absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta carotene.

 Definitely like it. I lost 15 pounds in 2 months. September 1, 2008
It works great. But it's still a myth how to get it work for me because my first experice with Alli was not successfull. I took it for over 1 month but hardly see any change. Then I stoped for a couple of month until I decided to give it another try this summer. This time, I work together with the online Myalli program and look into the chatting board to learn from others' experience. Somehow it works and I am so exciting to see my weight off 15 pounds in 2 months without doing extra execrises. I feel healthy and never have any trouble with my heart or stomach. There is no longer pains to stand on a balance and I like it so much.
I don't know why it didn't work the first time. Maybe what I ate didn't match the way how the pills work. One thing I learned from the chatting board is that you need to reach the daily target of calories and fat. If you eat too little, Alli doesn't work either.
The side effect is annoying but it's worthy. I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to establish a way to eat. I believe after I stop taking the pills, I can keep my weight or even continue to lose some with the current diet that Alli teaches me. The online program is also a great help that you can easily check your daily intake of calories, fat, all kinds of nutritions, etc. It also gives you low fat reciepts and the chatting board is a good place to look for more practical advice and help.

After taking the pill for about 2 days I noticed it working. Boy did I ever- Its true instead of your body absorbing all the fat you ingested it passes it through your body to the toilet. Problem is you might not be ready for that. I had 2 accidents while on alli and they were while I was out and not able to get to my home quickly. I felt like I wanted to die since one time I was out with my husband and his best friend. Alli is good just as long as you have some depends on or plan to stay home.
 it didn't work for me August 26, 2008

THE ALLI PROGRAM HAS NOT WORKED AT ALL FOR ME EVEN AFTER THREE WEEKS. I HAVEN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT AND I NEVER HAD ANY OF THE UNPLEASANT SIDE EFFECTS.
I EVEN PURPOSELY ATE A HIGH FAT MEAL TO SEE IF I WOULD HAVE THE OILY STOOLS, AND NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL THAT IT WAS A BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

I was very optimistic about using this product. However, I lost nothing except money.
 Great product August 13, 2008
I have used the Alli for about a moth now and am down 15 pounds. It works great if you follow the instructions and exercise with it. I will definitely continue to use this product.
